USH'S MATRIX GAME FIFTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT PATH)- 'Payback'

(Dammit, I'm down...)

Standard knife attack, modified with Hands Without Shadow.

"Don't think you're going to get away with that..." San says, as she attacks.

(I've been ignoring that power...)

Mors sits up and examines his cut briefly, pulling himself away from the ***** that San is attacking.

You know, I bet when you read through this game again and read what Dallas had to say about Khali, you'll note it far more that time through!

Khali will have to blow focus on the Fox's Retreat. That was a waste; San rolls -2 and misses anyway.

Khali will come straight back- Vengeance and standard stab, San, for two attacks!

Fox's Retreat and Dodge.

Miss miss...

Khali: 4/24/Framed Out

San: 0/20/1

Just time for another attack from you, San.

Standard knife attack.

She'll take the dodge; she has the speed. -4 from San means that was wasted as well...

... and that's that for that frame from you two!

That was an eventful sequence...

Mors takes out his phone. "What's my situation, Captain?"

Eventful, yeah, for a bit of an understatement...

Deceptive blade strike and claw of the tiger

"We're just trying to co-ordinate things right now, Mors," says Ariadne. "And try not to move! Heph's running into trouble trying to get the door open and I'm not sure what we can do then..."

Sinsiter will Learned Tutor's block on that... you roll evens, Cloud, and he has blocked you! Well, familar territory now. He'll send you to the ground with a Two Lotus Twist, and then bear down upon you with a Dread Egale Swoop. I think I can safely assume you will take your dodge... he rolls -4. Miss!

-----

Your strike, Cloud. Still Ares to defend against Tyr.

Water weapon with whirling blade onslaught

Allright,
Im ready for another pass at Loomis!

Sinister will Fox's Retreat. Cloud, you roll evens, for a total of 19, a hit! Five damage to Sinister, and he is impaired as the Sequence ends!

Ok, Burn you roll +3, Loomis rolls -2... you get the shot.

Unfortunately you roll -5. It was going to be a miss anyway, as you had miscounted your ammo, with only two bursts left. A problem now Burn... you have no ammunition.

(Shit...)

(Burn, get out of there!)

(Better Idea)

Hmm, how close am I to Loomis?
and how close to a new round with me getting more focus points?

Technically you are at the start of number 7 right now, Burn, witha full pool.

However, in this specified situation, Loomis has near infintie room to just back up and keep shooting you.

"What kind of trouble, Ariadne? And how are the others fairing?"

"Not great," says Ariadne, "and I still cannot make sense of Melitus' realm. And no-one is getting out of there alive if you don't take care of Melitus. And..."

You hear an alarm sounding in the background.
